Avocado Basil Pesto (Nut Free + Vegan)

Having pesto on pasta is something I've never been able to enjoy, due to all commercial pestos containing either cashew or pine nuts, both of which I am allergic to. Now throw into the mix that most pestos aren't vegan due to the inclusion of parmesan cheese and I'm at a loss when I want to enjoy a simple pasta-pesto mix. But, there is a really easy solution to that and it's this recipe for Avocado Basil Pesto, which is nut free AND vegan!

Simple Vegan Sushi

I've been promising to put this recipe up on my blog for a looong time now. If you follow me on Instagram you may have seen me posting pictures of sushi I have been making and enjoying for my dinners and lunches, and lots of people asked me to post the method I use to make it - well here we finally are! A recipe for simple vegan sushi which is super easy to follow and once you get the hang of rolling the sushi is something I can promise you'll be making over and over again.

One Pot Chilli with Quinoa (Vegan + Gluten Free)

Following on from my healthier eating/meal prepping/cutting down gluten adventure, here is another recipe that I've been loving making when I was something that doesn't require a lot of washing up, uses up ingredients you probably have in already/are easily accessible (I'm not about those fancy ingredients) and results in a healthy meal that everyone will enjoy.

Tofu + Vegetable Stir Fry (Vegan + Gluten Free)

I've been making an effort to eat healthier and part of that meant starting to meal prep. Probably 95% of the time, I have leftovers from the night before for lunch the next day, but sometimes when we can't be bothered to cook a proper meal in the evening it leaves me without a lunch the next day. I decided that to avoid this, I would meal prep for the week on a Sunday, so that I had five lunches sat waiting for me in the fridge.

Lunch at Grumpy Panda Diner, Gateshead UK

Having a vegan American style diner so close to where I live is going to become both a blessing (to my stomach) and a curse (to my waistline)! Grumpy Panda Coffee Bar and Diner opened in Gateshead in the North East of England in July 2017, and it's definitely a treat!

What I Ate Wednesday 31.01.18

Here we go again with another What I Ate Wednesday. I'll admit, I made a conscious effort to make this different to last weeks post, as I am definitely guilty of eating the same meals over and over! I find it especially difficult to come up with new meals I can have for lunch each day, because I need something that is easily put into a tupperware box to take to work with me.
